Prediction Omonia Aradippou vs Krasava ENY Ypsonas FC 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the 1. Division on 02/01/2026
Match preview: low-scoring affair expected at Stadio Antonis Papadopoulos
Omonia Aradippou welcome Krasava ENY Ypsonas FC to Larnaca on 02/01/2026 in a clash that looks more attritional than expansive on paper. The home side sit 10th with 14 points from 15 matches and have struggled to turn possession into goals this season (10 scored, 22 conceded), while Krasava arrive rooted to 13th with just 11 points and a similar goals profile (11 scored, 22 conceded). Neither team has been prolific and recent fixtures suggest this will be a game of tight margins rather than goal fests.
Omonia arrive off a battling 2-2 draw at Aris Limassol where Stavros Georgiou stood out, while Krasava were edged 1-0 by Apollon in a match where Algassime Bah was the pick in a losing effort. Home advantage will help Omonia — they know their ground at Stadio Antonis Papadopoulos — but their home defensive record (13 conceded at home) hints at vulnerabilities that Krasava might try to exploit. Krasava’s form, however, is alarming: one win in their last ten outings and a long losing strand that makes them blunt in attack and fragile at the back.
Tactical outlook and statistical nudges
Statistically both sides generate modest shot counts and limited conversion. Omonia average around 9.8 shots per match with 48 on target across the season; Krasava sit slightly lower with 7.7 shots on average and 41 on target in total. Over 2.5 goals has occurred in roughly a third of Omonia’s matches and just under half of Krasava’s, but the away team’s recent run includes multiple 0-1 and 0-0 scorelines, underlining a tendency for low-scoring outcomes when their confidence wanes. The solitary head-to-head this season saw Krasava win 2-0, but form since then tilts the edge back to the home side in terms of steadiness.
